- Registration Number
- NCT04748497
- Lead Sponsor
- Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
- Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study: improvement of sportive performances by quantification and performances monitoring of paralympic athletes.
The secondary objectives of the study:
* quantification and performances monitoring of mechanical performances during the filed tests, the laboratory analysis and the sportive competitions;
* quantification and performances monitoring of physiological performances during the filed tests, the laboratory analysis and the sportive competitions;
* quantification and risk monitoring of discipline-relative musculo-squeletic troubles, caused by training or using of sportive equipment;
* quantification and mechanical monitoring by the made-to-measure or usual sportive material.
- Detailed Description
The sportive performance results from a range of determinations such as: physiological, biomechanical, morphological, psychological, social and environmental factors. The interactions between athletes, equipment, training and environment influences the development of athletes' performance. In the context of the coming Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, the performance construction for the exploration, the quantification and the management of all factors is an commun objective between sportive team, medical team and researchers.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Static sportive activity at 42 months Static sportive activity: maximal speed of movement of pression center.
Dynamic sportive activity at 42 months Dynamic sportive activity: Sprint Capacity Test will be used to have maximal speed.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Biomechanical indices of performance: isometric power measurement through study completion, an average of 1 year Isometric power will be measured by MicroFet \& handgrip of 26 measures, advice for healthcare professionals to measure handgrip strength forces to test and document grip deficits and to evaluate consistency of effort.
VO2 peak oxygen uptake through study completion, an average of 1 year VO2 peak oxygen uptake
Biomechanical indices of performance: arms and shoulder's Strength through study completion, an average of 1 year Arms and shoulder's Strength will be measured by force platform.
Blood lactate concentration immediately after the intervention Blood lactatemia level will be measured by lactometer.
Speed profil during the propulsion through study completion, an average of 1 year Physiological indices of performance: maximal aerobic power Twice through study completion, an average of 42 months Maximal aerobic power will be measured by following Watts fluctuation during the incremental hand-biking test.
Fatigue assessment Twice through study completion, an average of 42 months Fatigue assessment will be measured by Fatigue Index (Power max ratio).
Peak breath expiration volume assessment through study completion, an average of 1 year VE peak: peak breath expiration volume
Peak cardiac frequence through study completion, an average of 1 year CF: peak cardiac frequence
Musculo-squeletic troubles risks measurement through study completion, an average of 1 year Musculo-squeletic troubles risks will be measured by medical following and clinical method of functional assessment of the shoulder (i.e. "Constant scale").
Physiological indices of performance: maximal aerobic speed (MAS) Twice through study completion, an average of 42 months Maximal aerobic speed (MAS) will be measured by Repetition Per Minute on a Arm ergometer.
Mechanical indices of wheelchair propulsion - applied forces on handrim during the propulsion through study completion, an average of 1 year Applied forces on handrim during the propulsion: measured by force platform.
Acceleration profil during the propulsion through study completion, an average of 1 year Time and distance of deceleration of wheelchair during riding test through study completion, an average of 1 year Time and distance of deceleration of wheelchair during riding test: measured by signal analysis of instrumented wheelchair (inertial control units).
